from press release

WESTMINSTER, Md. – The No. 10 Salisbury
University men's lacrosse team picked up its third win of the
season to push its record to 3-2 with Wednesday's 16-3 victory over
McDaniel College at Gill Stadium.

Senior midfielder Eric Kluge led the Sea Gull offense, which saw
12 different goal scorers, with three goals. Kluge was one of three
SU players tied with three points as junior midfielder Tyler Smith
and sophomore midfielder Adam Stork each scored two goals and had
one assist.

Smith netted his first goal of the season to open the scoring in
the game, the first of eight unanswered goals to start the
contest.

The Gulls kept the pressure on the Green Terror (0-3) defense as
junior attackman Rhett DePol took a pass from junior midfielder
Greg Korvin to dunk a shot from right in front of the crease past
the goalie. Korvin followed with goal of his own, driving down the
right side and sending a shot into the top-left corner of the
goal.

Stork added his first goal with a shot from the left wing to
close out the quarter.

Salisbury added four more goals in the second quarter to take an
8-0 lead before McDaniel would put a point on the scoreboard. Kluge
scored the Gulls' first two goals of the period, followed by goals
from attackmen, sophomore Wade Korvin and senior Evan
Hammersly.

Pat Woglom scored for the Green Terror with 35 seconds left in
the half; he led his team with two goals on the day.

At the half, Salisbury led in shots (20-10) and ground ball
pickups (17-16), while McDaniel led in faceoffs won (7-of-11).

The Sea Gulls opened the scoring in the second half at the 5:06
mark in third quarter as Stork zipped a pass through the defense to
junior attackman Luke Phipps, who finished the play by beating
McDaniel goalie Christian Dallmus just in front of the crease.

Kluge added his third at the end of the quarter, and Smith and
Stork added their second goals, each scoring in the first minutes
of the fourth. The pair was followed by four more Gulls, as they
each scored one to combine for six goals in the final period.

Junior goalkeeper Alex Taylor earned the win, playing over 55
minutes in the cage and making eight saves.

The Gulls will return to Sea Gull Stadium for their next game,
as they host Gettysburg College on Saturday at 1 p.m.
